From the town hall yesterday

1. Expecting 50 new hires for the rest of the year

2. 717 replacement will not be regional jet - will be flown by mainline jet (still loooking for suitable candidates) 3-5 years left on 717 usage (again lol).

3. Inter island overnights are staying for now.

4. Airbuses are here to stay.

5. Widebody fleet & routes will likely grow in the future. Alaska wants international expansion.

6. No plans for Seattle base for Hawaiian pilots.

7. "Hawaiian" Callsign uncertain. (prob gonna go away)

So far - I'm liking what I'm hearing .... except #7
